eFestivals Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 7 minutes ago, Gucci Piggy said: If they're at APE I imagine it'll be an APE Presents show like Catfish last year, but it still seems a very weird fit, especially compared to them doing their own show like QOTSA did last year, put on by the same people as R&L who they did a secret set for this year. In fact, maybe an APE Presents show is what Neil was on about when joining up the dots, but I was including APE Presents shows in what I said about APE in my initial post. i had info about APE, with no info about whether it was the festival or a headline show. As ever i can't know if that info is correct, but I have reason to think there might be something to it so i added them as a rumour for APE.

DomDom1984 Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Surely BMTH as one of the one offs isn't really that outlandish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntyyy Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 I think the surprise with BMTH is more that they're one of Live Nations babies potentially headlining a rival promoters gig in London, rather than the concept that they could sell out one of Londons smaller parks.

dentalplan Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Catfish wasn’t as much of an outlier though. They’re an indie band so they fit a little bit at least. Bring Me aren’t but it’s a new festival and can easily make a change of direction at this stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gucci Piggy Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Yep it's what huntyyy and dental said. If the likes of The Strokes are acceptable for APE then Catfish isn't too far out, but even then it seems to me like they were just booked to fill out the final day seeing as for ages we only heard about 5 of the headliners, even from the initial rumours. BMTH are miles from anyone who played last year, and they just did a secret set at a Live Nation fest which for all years but one (I think) has either resulted in playing R&L or another Live Nation event the following year (in QOTSA's case this year). If BMTH aren't headlining R&L it would be more in keeping with what's happened previously for them to be doing a Live Nation event in London rather than an AEG one where they don't even fit in.

scatteredscreens Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Obviously this could mean anything but the APE twitter account is following a few artists that we've been discussing on here, notable names: Bring me the Horizon Tame Impala Vampire Weekend Arcade Fire David Byrne Run the Jewels loads of others too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolded the headline possibilities and there are too many, I guess. Does seem like the only ones they were following before were acts who played but I'm not convinced it has any ultimate bearing.

Yeah whilst I don't think it will really mean anything I did find it interesting that some of those artists are being followed. Especially ones like Tame Impala and Vampire Weekend where you couldn't argue that the reason they were being followed is because Goldenvoice/AEG are promoting a tour of theirs because they've been relatively inactive bar a couple of gigs.

BMTH one interested me the most, because they're unlike everyone else on that list and we've heard now that they were placed at APE by info despite being unlike every other headliner. Maccabees one tho, imagine if they got back together less than two years after the long drawn out farewell lmao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably that’s seats? I think it’s too probably too early, but worth throwing out there as it’s not a world away from Catfish. Doing something like this is the next logoical step, though it would be better for them to wait until after the third album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's daylight between them and Catfish - look at the stuff they headline and look at Wolf Alice's festival record. I think they would need to wait for the third album to even be considered for it. If they were playing All Points East next year, it could only be as a sub. But I agree with Jass that they won't be around. 15 minutes ago, lessthanwill1 said: Can we just get Sufjan Stevens to headline? With Beach House, Mitski and Alvvays on the undercard? Thanks.

Gilgamesh69 Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 The wait is really starting to get to me. Every morning I check to see if there's been an announcement but alas, still nothing. When did tickets go on sale last year? Beginning of November wasn't it?

Gucci Piggy Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 How did the announcements for this work last year? The festival announced all at once and the APE Presents days all announced separately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
